'Runner-up in three consecutive outings before finally scoring for a second time on Tuesday'

'Off since June; needs extra but relatively unexposed and could have more to give'

'Veteran but four 2nds this season and he still looked in form on latest start'

'1m5f at Ayr in October saw his first win since 2021 and he's run mostly with credit since'

'Well down the weights and more competitive again on last two outings, C&D third on latest'

'Turf win in September; out of form since and his four-race AW record is not great'

'Doing well prior to C&D flop three weeks ago; first-time hood replaces usual cheekpieces'

'Won twice at 1m2f here in the autumn; out of form all four starts since, two over hurdles'

'No solid form; handicapping should give him more realistic prospects and it's a new trip'
